Screening for lung blood pressure in scleroderma
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks for signs of high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) in people with scleroderma. It aims to catch it early so it can be treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether sildenafil can improve early “high pressure in the lung blood vessels” in people with scleroderma. It may help slow worsening breathing and lung blood-vessel disease before it becomes severe.
This study uses artificial intelligence to find better ways to screen for pulmonary arterial hypertension (a type of high blood pressure in the lungs) in people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). The goal is to catch the condition earlier so treatment can start sooner.
This early study uses a PET scan (a type of imaging test) to better understand lung blood-vessel disease in people who have pulmonary hypertension related to scleroderma. It may help researchers find how imaging signals relate to disease and risk.
This study is for people with connective tissue disease (like lupus or scleroderma) who also have high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). It aims to better understand and treat this condition by collecting medical information from participants.
This study monitors people who had a severe lung blood clot to see if they develop high blood pressure in the lungs over time. It aims to catch the condition early, so treatment can start sooner.
This study is testing whether a new risk score can better predict outcomes for people who have both chronic lung disease and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). If you qualify, the researchers will follow your health over time to see how well the score works.
